Of course, this kind of move is going to stir up the roller coaster rumor mill. But what do you build in a theme park that has everything? With 16 roller coasters they’ve got many of the major ride types covered. They’ve got woodies, an inverted coaster, a suspended coaster, three launch coasters, two kiddie coasters, a twin racing coaster, a mine train coaster, a bobsled coaster, a stand-up coaster, a hyper coaster, a giga coaster, a shuttle coaster, and an old-school looper.

The latest rumor from Screamscape references green B&M track that’s been spotted at the Ohio plant. The popular thinking is that Cedar Point could be looking to add a Wing Coaster like Wild Eagle and X-Flight. I’d be fine with that, but I’d really rather seem them give Mean Streak the Rocky Mountain topper track before they build anything new. In my opinion, woodies are a big hole in Cedar Point’s vast lineup.

I wonder if the issues that Magic Mountain had with X have kept Cedar Point away from this type of ride. I'm not sure if X2 has had fewer issues so that may not be a factor any more. Plus, they could do a compact 4D coaster like Green Lantern, but ride capacity's probably pretty low for that ride.

I voted for another height record breaker so long as it is new and not just a taller TTD. Perhaps go back to the height and speed coming with a long track length (Millennium) or at least something new to the first drop. Maybe straight down 90 degrees 500 feet with no twist?

Whatever it is (if it is), they've probably already started making track for it, wherever that factory is (B&M factory or elsewhere for another manufacturer). I agree about the Rocky Mtn. remake of Mean Streak but I doubt they will do that.

Cedar point does lack in wooden rollercoasters, and the ones they have in place are not that very good. But they might fear away from woodies as long as the Son of Beast incident at kings island still haunts them… I would love to see a intanim made prefab woodie designed by Werner Stengel to be built where meanstreak currently stands.

I think Cedar Point should go for Intamins new 12 iversion coaster. This would give the park another record breaker, and would give it a really good looping coaster, one of the only things Cedar point lacks.

As an annual Cedar Point visitor, I have noticed that, understandably, most people HATE Mean Streak. So, if the were to give it the New Texas Giant treatment, I feel almost as if the would have to completely re-theme it and re-name in order to get the hype and excitement they would be hoping for.

yeah, the new texas giant looks like a really "sexy" coaster, they used a lot of the same supports, and turned from what i hear was a crap ride into an insanely fun ride (never rode it, going by povs and reviews :P) and i'm sure they could turn mean streak into the an AMAZING ride 😛

I think they need a big B&M looper of any kind, whether it's a wing, floorless, doesn't matter as long as there are a good amount of inversions. Other than Raptor, Mantis, and somewhat Corkscrew and Maverick, CP is mostly devoid of inversions. If they could find a way to get a flyer doing a dive out over the lake I'd be down for that as well.

I would really like to see an intamin prefabrication woodie. They need an up to date wooden coaster, which should offer some great airtime. I definitely think a woodie is in order though, as a steel wouldn't be unique. I don't want to see a winged coaster because there have been so many coming out, and I have CP on a higher pedastal than most parks

First of all, can we all agree CP will be adding a kiddie coaster along with their new big coaster? Secondly, a few pieces of green winged coaster tracks were spotted outside a B&M plant. Could this possibly be for CP 2013? Personally, I think that the Point should try a coaster that is part dark ride, part outdoor with a story line.

Whatever they're building, it has to be big. The Point hasn't added a new coaster since Maverick in 2007. They're so low on space that I don't think they'll add a coaster with a huge layout. So as much as I'd love to see a wooden coaster added to the park, I don't know how likely that actually is (unless it's very compact, or they remove existing rides.) I'll keep my hopes up though.

i'll throw it out there that the only reason that Cedar Point was considered the "coaster capitol" is because they come out with everything first, half their roller coasters WERE record breakers, but now most of them are sub par to other parks, and i wont even begin on canada's wonderland, but now that Cedar Fair is in ownership and we have behemoth and now leviathan, I have high hopes for my home park

Cedar point has it all… but they are missing a flying coaster like Superman @ Six flags. Also they need a 4th dimension… it would really add to the collage of coasters they have there. Another height breaker would cost the park alot of money and there would not be a new ride for quite some time… and if they really wanted to do that, then just make Top thrill taller… extend to it. no need to build a whole new other thing.
